THE GOVERNING BODY of NORTH MARSTON C of E SCHOOL

Chair: Katherine Du Plessis

A warm welcome from the Governing Body of North Marston School. Our role is to provide a strategic overview of what is happening in school and to support the Headteacher and Staff in making the school as effective and efficient as possible. Governors have a wide range of skills and work with Miss Brew on such matters as the curriculum, data, finance, health and safety, staffing and HR as well as ensuring that safeguarding is effective and that we are driving improvements through living our vision and values.

The work of the board is ongoing but we meet as a full Governing Body six times a year (twice per term). Three of these meetings are assisted by a clerk who helps us to keep up to date with legislation and current matters and the other three are strategic meetings to share progress and plan for the future. We also have two committees and you can find out more about our individual governors on out “Meet the Governors” page.
